Easter 2011

Annie's expression when she saw the bunny in her basket: Priceless! : ) Oh, it was SO hard for me to get that picture of Annie with her basket all together, ... before bunny (later named "Caramel Apple" would take a ride on the hammock outside! As for Leia highlights, she was SUCH a good big sister explaining how to play the Easter egg game, she got a big kick out of the Easter bunny's carrot mosaic for Ollie, and she loved the Easter bunny's traditional egg-behind-the-toilet (as you can see). Then it was off to Mass, ... where the presentation of the Tabernacle actually took my breath away. And finally, to Oma's "Bunny Trail" ... and even special Calico Critters from Great Grandma Betty!

Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Annie reluctantly holding her number for the Easter bonnet contest. Ha!

Oh, it was VERY windy! Note to self: ribbons to tie the hats down next year!
Another note to self: don't stand in between the two winners! Ha! But the girls were SUCH good sports that they didn't win because ...
MAMMA WON!!! (and I gave the girls my Chic-Fil-A prizes)! : )

Making Easter Bonnets 2011

Gotta love Annie's "baby bunny" in the front and Easter Parade in the background. Always a mess, but always so fun! (This was the first year that Leia was able to make her bonnet totally on her own!) My vow: the next time Easter is this late in the year we will walk with out bonnets on Fifth Avenue in New York City and go to Saint Patrick's Cathedral for Easter Mass!

Annie Plants her Rosemary from Mountain Sun

It's especially fitting considering that the dianthus thriving in the front were LEIA'S Montessori flowers! I thought it would be nice to keep them togther.
